Definitions
- Both the compressor and turbine sections may include alternating series of rotating blades and stationary vanes that extend into the core flow path of the gas turbine engine.
- turbine blades rotate and extract energy from the hot combustion gases that are communicated along the core flow path of the gas turbine engine.
- the turbine vanes which generally do not rotate, guide the airflow and prepare it for the next set of blades.
- Blade trailing edge tips are typically susceptible to high temperature damage such as thermal mechanical fatigue, and/or oxidation.
- Current airfoil designs tend to leave the trailing edge tip without convective cooling.
- one example airfoil design adds flow features at the tip, which enables the entire trailing edge to be convectively cooled. Discrete slots or a large continuous slot is provided the length of the trailing edge all the way to the tip.
- EP 2 568 119 A2 discloses prior art gas turbine engines with improved trailing edge cooling arrangements.
- an airfoil as set forth in claim 1.
- the airfoil extends from the leading edge to the trailing edge in a chord-wise direction.
- the cavity is provided in at least the last 20% of the airfoil near the trailing edge in the chord-wise direction.
- the natural flow direction corresponds to an aft direction in the chord-wise direction.
- the desired flow direction corresponds to the radial direction.
- first and second pedestals include first and second widths respectively.
- the first and second lengths are greater than their corresponding first and second widths.
- first and second pedestals are in an alternating relationship with one another.
- least one first pedestal is arranged between adjacent second pedestals.
- first and second edge are arranged at about 90° relative to one another.
- FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a gas turbine engine 20.
- the gas turbine engine 20 is disclosed herein as a two-spool turbofan that generally incorporates a fan section 22, a compressor section 24, a combustor section 26 and a turbine section 28.
- Alternative engines might include an augmenter section (not shown) among other systems or features.
- the fan section 22 drives air along a bypass flow path B in a bypass duct at least partially defined within a fan case 15, while the compressor section 24 drives air along a core flow path C for compression and communication into the combustor section 26 then expansion through the turbine section 28.
- the exemplary engine 20 generally includes a low speed spool 30 and a high speed spool 32 mounted for rotation about an engine central longitudinal axis X relative to an engine static structure 36 via several bearing systems 38. It should be understood that various bearing systems 38 at various locations may alternatively or additionally be provided, and the location of bearing systems 38 may be varied as appropriate to the application.
- the low speed spool 30 generally includes an inner shaft 40 that interconnects a fan 42, a first (or low) pressure compressor 44 and a first (or low) pressure turbine 46.
- the inner shaft 40 is connected to the fan 42 through a speed change mechanism, which in exemplary gas turbine engine 20 is illustrated as a geared architecture 48 to drive the fan 42 at a lower speed than the low speed spool 30.
- the high speed spool 32 includes an outer shaft 50 that interconnects a second (or high) pressure compressor 52 and a second (or high) pressure turbine 54.
- a combustor 56 is arranged in exemplary gas turbine 20 between the high pressure compressor 52 and the high pressure turbine 54.
- a mid-turbine frame 57 of the engine static structure 36 is arranged generally between the high pressure turbine 54 and the low pressure turbine 46.
- the mid-turbine frame 57 further supports bearing systems 38 in the turbine section 28.
- the inner shaft 40 and the outer shaft 50 are concentric and rotate via bearing systems 38 about the engine central longitudinal axis X which is collinear with their longitudinal axes.
- the core airflow is compressed by the low pressure compressor 44 then the high pressure compressor 52, mixed and burned with fuel in the combustor 56, then expanded over the high pressure turbine 54 and low pressure turbine 46.
- the mid-turbine frame 57 includes airfoils 59 which are in the core airflow path C.
- the turbines 46, 54 rotationally drive the respective low speed spool 30 and high speed spool 32 in response to the expansion.
- gear system 48 may be located aft of combustor section 26 or even aft of turbine section 28, and fan section 22 may be positioned forward or aft of the location of gear system 48.
- the engine 20 in one example is a high-bypass geared aircraft engine.
- the engine 20 bypass ratio is greater than about six (6), with an example embodiment being greater than about ten (10)
- the geared architecture 48 is an epicyclic gear train, such as a planetary gear system or other gear system, with a gear reduction ratio of greater than about 2.3
- the low pressure turbine 46 has a pressure ratio that is greater than about five.
- the engine 20 bypass ratio is greater than about ten (10:1)
- the fan diameter is significantly larger than that of the low pressure compressor 44
- the low pressure turbine 46 has a pressure ratio that is greater than about five 5:1.
- Low pressure turbine 46 pressure ratio is pressure measured prior to inlet of low pressure turbine 46 as related to the pressure at the outlet of the low pressure turbine 46 prior to an exhaust nozzle.
- the geared architecture 48 may be an epicycle gear train, such as a planetary gear system or other gear system, with a gear reduction ratio of greater than about 2.3:1. It should be understood, however, that the above parameters are only exemplary of one embodiment of a geared architecture engine and that the present invention is applicable to other gas turbine engines including direct drive turbofans.
- the fan section 22 of the engine 20 is designed for a particular flight condition -- typically cruise at about 0.8 Mach and about 35,000 feet (10,668 meters).
- the flight condition of 0.8 Mach and 35,000 ft (10,668 meters), with the engine at its best fuel consumption - also known as "bucket cruise Thrust Specific Fuel Consumption ('TSFC')" - is the industry standard parameter of lbm of fuel being burned divided by lbf of thrust the engine produces at that minimum point.
- "Low fan pressure ratio” is the pressure ratio across the fan blade alone, without a Fan Exit Guide Vane (“FEGV”) system.
- the low fan pressure ratio as disclosed herein according to one non-limiting embodiment is less than about 1.45.
- the disclosed cooling configuration may be used in various gas turbine engine components.
- a turbine blade 64 is described.
- the cooling passage may also be used in vanes, blade outer air seals, and combustor or exhaust liners, for example.
- the turbine blades each include a tip 80 adjacent to a blade outer air seal 70 of a case structure 72.
- the first and second stage arrays of turbine vanes and first and second stage arrays of turbine blades are arranged within a core flow path C and are operatively connected to a spool 32.
- each turbine blade 64 is mounted to the rotor disk.
- the turbine blade 64 includes a platform 76, which provides the inner flow path, supported by the root 74.
- An airfoil 78 extends in a radial direction R from the platform 76 to the tip 80. It should be understood that the turbine blades may be integrally formed with the rotor such that the roots are eliminated. In such a configuration, the platform is provided by the outer diameter of the rotor.
- the airfoil 78 provides leading and trailing edges 82, 84.
- the airfoil 78 of Figure 3B somewhat schematically illustrates exterior airfoil surface 92 extending in a chord-wise direction H from a leading edge 82 to a trailing edge 84.
- the airfoil 78 is provided between pressure (typically concave) and suction (typically convex) side walls 86, 88 spaced apart in an airfoil thickness direction T, which is generally perpendicular to the chord-wise direction C, and joined at the leading and trailing edges 82, 84.
- Multiple turbine blades 64 are arranged circumferentially in a circumferential direction A.
- the airfoil 78 extends from the platform 76 in the radial direction R, or spanwise, to the tip 80.
- the airfoil 78 includes a cooling passage 90 provided between the pressure and suction walls 86, 88.
- the cooling passage 90 may be one or more discrete passages arranged in a configuration suitable for the given application. Referring to Figure 4 , the cooling passage 90 is provided by passages 90a-90d.
- the exterior airfoil surface may include multiple film cooling holes (not shown) in fluid communication with the cooling passage 90.
- the cooling passage 90d feed a cavity 94 provided between the pressure and suction side walls 86, 88 near the trailing edge 84.
- the cavity 94 is provided in at least the last 20% of the airfoil 78 near the trailing edge 84 in the chord-wise direction H.
- the first and second exit regions 98, 100 are arranged respectively in low and high pressure regions 104, 106.
- the high pressure region 106 is at a greater pressure than the low pressure regions 104.
- a natural flow direction F1 extends from the interior region 96 to the first exit region 98, which corresponds to an aftward direction along the chord-wise direction H in the example blade.
- the "natural flow direction” is the direction the fluid would tend to flow from the component, here an airfoil, due to the various pressure gradients.
- a desired flow direction F2 extends from the interior region 96 to the second exit region 100 and generally corresponds to the radial direction R.
- the "desired flow direction” is a direction that is different than the natural flow direction. That is, the fluid would not flow substantially in the desired flow direction but for the first pedestals 114, discussed below, but would instead tend to flow in the natural flow direction.
- First and second pedestal groups 110, 112 are respectively arranged at the first and second exit regions 98, 100.
- the first pedestal group 110 includes a column of pedestals recessed from the trailing edge 84 and elongated in the chord-wise direction H.
- the first pedestal group 110 may extend all the way to the trailing edge 84, if desired.
- the second pedestal group 112 is recessed from the tip 80. Recessing the pedestals into the cavity 94 can avoid coat down issues when applying a thermal barrier coating to the exterior airfoil surface.
- the first and second pedestals 114, 116 include first and second lengths L1, L2 respectively and first and second widths W1, W2 respectively.
- the first and second lengths L1, L2 are greater than their corresponding first and second widths W1, W2.
- the first and second pedestals 114, 116 are arranged in alternating relationship with one another. In the example, multiple first pedestals 114 are arranged between adjacent second pedestals 116.
- the longer second pedestals 116 act as "pressure gradient separators" that add to guide the flow through the cavity 94 and out the second exit region 100.
- the longer second pedestals 116 act as "pressure gradient separators" that add to guide the flow through the cavity 94 and out the second exit region 100.
- Figures 6 and 7 illustrate one approach to forming the pedestals in the cavity.
- a core 124 having holes 128 corresponding to the pedestal shapes is placed in a mold 126.
- the core 124 defines the shape of the cavity.
- the cooling cavity and pedestals can be formed by other manufacturing techniques, such as additive manufacturing, if desired.
- FIGS 8A and 8B An arrangement outside of the scope of the present invention is shown in Figures 8A and 8B that illustrate the first and second pedestal groups 210, 212 in a cavity 194 near the leading edge 182 of the airfoil 164.
- the first and second pedestals 214, 216 are arranged near the tip 180.
- Figure 9 depicts a core 224 having holes 228 corresponding to the pedestal shapes in Figures 8A and 8B .
